Your first name of Arete gives you a friendly, congenial personality and causes you to desire activities involving people. This name brings the tendency to magnify small issues out of proportion or to become too involved in personality conflicts. It is very important to you to have peaceful, settled conditions in your life. Others do not always realize how sensitive and aware you are of their thoughts and feelings toward you. At times you exhibit an uncompromising attitude and indifference toward others through failing to listen to and reason out another person’s point of view. Sometimes friction in association results because your penchant for exactness and detail can cause you to be too fussy over inconsequential matters in the home or at work. You require new ideas or concepts to be presented in complete detail before you can understand them properly and accept them. Peaceful and settled conditions appeal to you and you are naturally desirous of having the security of a home, where your life could follow a definite pattern, and where you would not have to make major decisions. While you do have many fine qualities, the tensions created by this name do not allow you to enjoy a full and complete life. You resist being forced into change and could become almost impervious to new ideas.
